FYI, I just bought a pair of slotted Stillen rotors. It turns out they are nothing more than repackaged DBA 4000 series rotors. You can buy these from Tirerack for $68. less than buying them from Stillen. Live and learn.

 

where did you learn that from?

 

Unfortunately, Nick is right. If you're going to spend a great deal of money on an aftermarket product definitely look into the manufacturer's of the product. A lot of products just get renamed and marketed as a "better product" due to it's branded name... Well you can say the same for just about anything for that matter!

 

Looking at the rotors after I bought them, I saw DBA 4059 stamped on the edge of the rotor. After checking the DBA website, sure enough, 4059 is the correct part number for my G35 model.

 

stillen reboxes their brake pads as well

 

I heard Stillen sway bars are manufactured by Eibach and headers by DC Sports.

 

I would stay away from Stillen on most products because you can find the same or better quality for less. You are paying a lot for the name.

 

your not kidding. good quality products, but too much cash. Stillen a.k.a. Stealen

 

Thanks for the advice, I was looking into Stillen rotors until I read your post.

 

How much do the rotors weigh vs stock if you don't mind me asking?

I think the stillen exhaust is made by magnaflow...

They are going to be pretty close Sean. There won't be a weight diff inbetween rotors unless you go 2pc.

 

Oh are they still one peice rotors? I didn't look at the part number, but remember reading a while back about how "advanced" the stillen rotors were.

Is this product the product that is advertised as "brake pros" on stillens website?

-Sean

 

Any rotor that's only $68 each isn't going to be 2 pc

 

Heres a good one....

DBA lists stillen as one of the places to buy their rotors.
